Kayaking, Svärdsfjärden, Sweden






Premiere for the kayak season! Later in the year than expected, but when going out solo I avoid too cold water together with windy conditions.. Half-day ride from Torö Stenstrand, heading north on Svärdsfjärden.. Sunny and calm seas, great early summer weather.. Saw plenty of bird-life, including dozens of swans, and an eagle.. Had a quick lunch on a little rock island before heading back south.. The "wavy" self-portrait is taken from under water, playing a bit with my adventure-safe camera..

Mtb, Lunsen, Uppsala





Half-day ride in Lunsen, Uppsala, with 4 people from the Happymtb.org forum.. Warm and sunny, maybe up towards 25 C the last hours.. This forrest area is amazing for cross-country mountainbiking, must be the best or one of the best in Sweden, at least if you appriciate fairly technical trails rather than fast ones..
